Style: Liberty 5 Pro
For years, Anker’s Soundcore brand has operated as the undisputed disruptor of the personal audio world. While legacy audio giants rely on brand heritage to justify premium price tags, Soundcore has spent nearly a decade perfecting a completely different formula: delivering top-tier, feature-rich hardware at a fraction of the cost. They’ve consistently proven that high-end active noise cancellation, customizable EQ, and pristine sound shouldn't be gated behind a $300+ paywall. Now, with the release of the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro, the brand isn't just trying to provide the best value on the market anymore—they are actively aiming for the crown. I bought the Liberty 5 Pro mainly because I was intrigued by the Guinness World Record it and its sibling, the Liberty 5 Pro Max, hold for microphone quality in loud environments. I didn’t even know this record existed, but these actually won the accolade for "World’s Clearest Call Quality in an Earbud." I would see this achievement paraded everywhere on social media and kept thinking, that’s cool, but the ANC, transparency, and sound quality probably won’t be good enough for my strict standards, especially since I have experienced so many premium and luxury true wireless earphones. Fast forward to today, and color me impressed. I really love the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro. Let me break down why… Starting with the sound quality: out of the box, I would describe the tuning as V-shaped and hyped. This is clearly a sound profile that the masses will enjoy. According to the MDAQS (Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score) system developed by HEAD acoustics—a sophisticated, AI-driven audio testing tool used to scientifically predict how human beings perceive sound quality—the Liberty 5 Pro scored an impressive 4.9 out of 5. For context, earbuds like the Technics AZ100, which are widely regarded as being among the best-sounding models you can buy, scored a 4.3. While that is still good, I personally find the Liberty 5 Pro superior. The AirPods Pro 3 scored a 4.5, and I am adding those because they are easily the most popular premium wireless headphones on the market right now. Now, the MDAQS score isn’t the end-all-be-all, but it gives an interesting data point on what average listeners prefer. Personally, I don’t really like the out-of-the-box sound signature of the Liberty 5 Pro. The bass is way too elevated. Its power and extension lean heavily into the mid- and sub-bass regions, which thankfully helps reduce how much it muddies up the midrange. It’s a very Harman-like tuning, but cranked to 11. The low end calls a lot of attention to itself, taking on a mind of its own with excessive rumble and a lingering decay. On some songs—particularly EDM or Hip-Hop—it sounds incredibly fun and energetic. I can perfectly see why the average listener would rate these highly, since most mainstream audiences listen to Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and EDM. But genres more focused on acoustical instruments like Jazz or Classical or Rock, the bass is just too excessive. The midrange is a bit too lean for my taste, mainly due to the V-shaped nature of the default tuning. Vocals and instruments come across as slightly hollow and distant. I don’t detect much sibilance in vocals, but I do notice a significant amount of forwardness in the ear-gain region around 3–5kHz. This makes the presentation sound intense, but also harsh, resulting in a bit of a shouty characteristic. There are good levels of clarity due to the boosted lower treble, but the overall delivery just feels off in terms of natural timbre to my ears. The treble is boosted, as stated before. This brings plenty of energy to the presentation and helps counterbalance the excessive bass. However, it can also make things sound a bit splashy or sizzly. On the bright side, the treble is smooth; there are no wild dips or peaks that make it sound like sandpaper, but the overall volume is elevated over the midrange, contributing to that lean sound signature. Soundstage and imaging are great, but they aren't as intelligible as I’d like due to the stock tuning. Reading this, you’re probably wondering how I could possibly love these earphones. Well, that’s because of an awesome tool called EQ. Soundcore provides a healthy amount of ways to adjust the audio to your liking. This flexibility is exactly what made me pivot from starting an Amazon refund request to making these my new daily drivers. I’ve included a picture of the EQ settings I eventually settled on. With these adjustments, the bass becomes incredibly powerful, well-extended, and balanced to my ears—full of texture and just the right amount of decay without sounding sluggish. The midrange is now warmer and more natural, stripping away the harsh, intense characteristics caused by the overly boosted ear-gain region. The treble sounds clear and crisp without overwhelming the midrange. I also boosted the upper treble a bit more since I found it rolled off prematurely, which closed in the soundstage. The treble boost I heard out of the box was mainly localized around the upper-mids and lower-treble region. Moving over to comfort and fit, the Liberty 5 Pro earphones are eerily similar to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds and Ultra models. They are so similar, in fact, that they share the same driver nozzle design and can use the same oval umbrella ear tips. I ended up putting the ear tips from my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen onto the Liberty 5 Pro because the base of the Bose tip is rigid and does not rotate once clicked onto the nozzle. The stock ear tips provided by Soundcore feel cheaper; and because their base is made of soft silicone, they easily twist out of alignment while you are inserting the earphones, which negatively affects ANC effectiveness and channel balance perception. I’ve always fancied the umbrella-style oval ear tips Bose uses because they are comfortable and lock securely into my ears. Whether I am eating, laughing, talking, or running, they never budge. The active noise canceling on these is excellent. Out of the box with the stock tips, the isolation fluctuated between excellent and mediocre. It wasn't until I switched to the Bose ear tips that the ANC became consistently top-tier. I would easily put these on par with Bose, Sony, and Apple in terms of raw ANC power. There is also no perceptible hiss while ANC is engaged, providing that "dead silent" feeling which can sometimes feel nauseating to those unaccustomed to the sensation. Well done, Soundcore! Transparency mode is great, but it doesn't quite reach the level of the AirPods Pro 3, mainly due to a higher level of perceivable hiss and a slightly recessed reproduction of high frequencies, which slightly dulls ambient sound compared to reality. However, I can hold a conversation easily. Thanks to "Easy Chat"—which is similar to the Speak-to-Chat feature Sony pioneered—I can simply start talking, and the Liberty 5 Pro will automatically lower my media volume and enable transparency mode. One quirk I noticed is that Easy Chat only triggers when you are already in ANC mode. I am used to this feature working regardless of your current ambient state, like on Apple or Sony earphones. Controls are great, featuring full customizability for single, double, or triple presses on either earbud. You can also configure what happens during a tap-and-hold gesture, and there are smooth swipe gestures for volume control. The only thing missing is the ability to mute the microphone while on a call unless you do it from the device itself. Furthermore, an on-device AI allows you to speak various preset commands to control your media with insanely fast latency. I don’t personally use the voice commands because the app states it drains the battery quickly. For my usage, the battery lasts around 6 to 7 hours depending on the volume, typically streaming over AAC with ANC turned on. The feature set on the Liberty 5 Pro is extensive—you could literally get lost in the companion app. I really enjoy the built-in ambient sounds, like sleep stories or meditation tracks, which are great if you want to relax or sleep with them in. You also have the ability to connect to three devices simultaneously. In practice, this multi-point connection worked flawlessly with no random dropouts across my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone Pro Max. The smart case is another cool addition; it has a small screen lets you control basic settings like ANC/transparency modes, EQ profiles, Dolby Atmos (which I found to be just okay), Easy Chat, a remote camera shutter, a "Find My Earbuds" tracker, and Bluetooth pairing. Last but not least is the call quality. Wow, these are fantastic. I can be standing on a subway platform with a train coming barreling into the station, and the caller on the other end won’t even know a train is flying past me. They are seriously impressive at isolating your voice from background chaos. Plus, you don’t have to yell—you can whisper or speak at a completely normal volume and you will still sound loud and clear. Seriously incredible work here, Soundcore. Overall, these earbuds have the fewest compromises of any premium truly wireless earphone I have tried. The sound out of the box isn't to my personal liking, but the robust EQ tools let me tailor the profile to be significantly more enjoyable. They are supremely comfortable and fit perfectly thanks to sharing Bose's ear tip geometry. The ANC is top-notch, blocking out the world alongside the industry's best performers. Controls are solid, transparency is highly usable, and the features are incredibly extensive. The battery easily lasts through the workday, backed by a quick-charge feature that adds up to 4 hours of playback from a mere 5-minute charge. Finally, the class-leading call quality means I never have to worry about being heard, regardless of how busy my environment is. Color me impressed!

I am upgrading from my third set of Galaxy Buds and decided to give these a go, for the price I figured it was worth a try. They fit my ears very well and I enjoy the bean like style much more than the odd thing hanging down trend of today. They connected up with my phone, my PC and were shared between my phone and tablet simply and easily. The menu system on the case takes all the guesswork out of pairing. No more open the case, spin around three times, hope it's in the right mode. Just swipe to BT and pair, done. Battery life is impressive and the case shows you in percentage the current level of each earbud and the case. Super convenient. Sound is impressive, base seems to be a lot more rich, deeper. Noise Cancelation is the best I've had so far, just about making it impossible to hear the person next to you talking. (Don't worry, easily disabled and there's an easy chat feature to help if you don't like that.) I think they are premium quality and a fantastic deal for the money.

So it's only been one day so far... But I have to say I absolutely love these ear buds! The interchangeable tips and fins let you get a nice custom fit and I find them pretty comfortable even though I'm not used to in ear buds. Sound quality is excellent, call quality is excellent, and noise reduction is excellent! I'll have to use them more to say much about battery life though so far I highly doubt I'll be disappointed. I love that you can set up a custom EQ that's tailored to your listening preference. The easy chat feature is nice too so it will lower music and noise reduction when you talk so there's no manually doing it every time or having to take them out. Tap controls work well, I haven't had to fight with it like I have most others. I also like the slide up or down option for volume control. These are the first ear buds that even at just the setup I've had zero complaints. Highly recommended!

After using the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max for several days, I can honestly say these are some of the most impressive earbuds I’ve owned. The first thing that stood out to me was the sound quality. The audio is rich, detailed, and powerful without sounding muddy. Bass is deep and satisfying, vocals are clean, and the overall clarity is excellent across different music genres. Whether listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, everything sounds premium. The noise cancellation is seriously impressive. Once ANC is turned on, background sounds almost completely disappear. I tested them around household appliances, at work, and in noisy environments, and they performed far better than I expected for earbuds. They are getting very close to over-ear headphone level noise canceling. Transparency mode is also excellent. Voices and surrounding sounds come through naturally without sounding robotic or overly amplified. It actually feels safe and comfortable using them in public while still being aware of what’s happening around me. Comfort was another big surprise. With the different ear tips and ear fins included, I was able to get a very secure fit. They stay in place during walking, workouts, and daily activities without constantly adjusting them. The charging case deserves its own mention. The touchscreen is not just a gimmick — it’s genuinely useful. Being able to quickly switch modes, check battery life, and control settings directly from the case is incredibly convenient. The sliding design also feels premium and satisfying to use. The app is packed with features and customization options. I especially liked the hearing test, EQ adjustments, adaptive modes, and personalized sound settings. Everything feels polished and easy to use. Battery life has also been solid so far, and call quality has been clear on both ends. Overall, these earbuds feel like a true premium product and offer an incredible amount of features for the price. Soundcore really did an amazing job balancing sound quality, ANC, transparency, comfort, and smart features into one package. Very easy recommendation from me.

I am comparing these against earbuds I have from Google and Bose. My decision to purchase was based on reviews comparing against other brands and a number of comparison videos; however I feel those fell short for me. Though depending on what you need them for, I can see the use case. I will break this feedback into the following categories: price, unspoken functions (e.g. connection speed to phone, firmware updates), sound quality, microphone quality, ANC functionality, and fit/comfort. Price: I won't give an actual price as time, competition, place of purchase, sales, etc can impact what you actually pay. Comparatively, I think the Liberty 5 Pro is a decent price for what you get. The other earbuds I have both cost more and excel in places that are meaningful to me (ANC being a big one), but the mileage may differ for you and if the Liberty 5 Pro is in your price range, I don't think it would be a horrible choice. Unspoken Functions: There are a number of items that fit here. One of the most notable to me is the screen on the case. I get what they are trying to achieve, but it feels like a gimmick to me. The screen is hard to see in the sunlight, so if you plan to use it for managing profiles or ANC levels it is rough in full sun. I am also on the larger side, so it is tough to navigate with my larger fingers. Maybe the Max version does better, but I find the phone app to have quick responsiveness, explanations of what you are changing, and a better experience than the case navigation. I do like the default power levels of the earbuds and case which is better than any on-case power display I have seen. Connection speed from the case to my ear is the fastest of the earbuds I have. It is almost instantaneous and made me realize how frustrated I get with the other brands when it takes a few seconds to register and be able to play music. The earbuds also seem to be responsive in pausing music when removed which can be hit or miss with my Google earbuds. Firmware updates hopefully come on a rare occasion. Out of the box I applied a firmware update which took 15 minutes. Given what these are running, that seems long and it seems odd to need to schedule an update around when I want to use the earbuds. Though the other two I have will occasionally have updates, I haven't seen them exceed a couple minutes let alone the 15 these took. Sound Quality: I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality from these. I am not an audiophile, but would put them close to what I get on the Bose and ahead of the Google earbuds. I think the Bose wins out here mainly because in my use case, they are more effective in the ANC category which gives the impression of clearer sound. However while in an office without the daily commute on a train, it is hard for me to notice a difference between these and Bose. One item I have noticed, these can get louder than both the Bose and Google earbuds. I only had them at about 40-50% and feel the volume was near what I get at 100% on the other two I have. Microphone Quality: This is the best microphone experience I have had. Both of my other earbuds and even a set I used to have for my work phone (Apple device) still picked up quite a bit of backup noise while on a walk, if it was windy, or during commute times (whether flying or on train). These earbuds stand out on that front, and I see them as a pre and post-workday solution when I need to be on calls. ANC: Compared to my other earbuds, this is where these fall flat. They do some and I have gone through the various fittings to see if I could make it more effective, but they really don't cut it for me. Whether fair or not, my baseline here are the Bose earbuds which have the best ANC I have experienced. Though these do, in my opinion, perform on par with the Google earbuds (which I don't use as much mainly because of the ANC shortfall). A big part of my frustration likely comes from the marketing and other reviews that don't differentiate well between the ANC and microphone filtering. The ANC itself is okay, but not what I would consider great. Comfort/Fit: These are acceptable in my opinion for comfort. I don't think they are uncomfortable, but unlike the other earbuds, I know they are there. It is hard to forget I have them in. However, I will say that these feel more firmly seated than my other earbuds. Similar to the ANC, I really don't wear the Google earbuds much because even though they claim improvements, I still have them pop out on runs, workouts, and long walks. These seem to stay firmly seated with needing to reposition. Overall: For me, I wouldn't call these my favorite earbuds, but do see where they fill a gap for me during conference calls while on the go. I use public transit (trains) which can be loud and produce a lot of background noise when I am speaking. While the ANC on my end isn't as good as I would like, the volume control of the Liberty 5 Pro compensates for that shortfall, and makes a better call experience for my use case.

I've been using these ear buds for a couple weeks. They have some major pros and and a few cons. First and most importantly, the microphone call quality is THE BEST I'VE EVER USED (and I've gone through at least a dozen different brands in the last few years searching for something like this). In crowded areas outside or inside, areas of my house with loud noises, in my office with other people talking, I've had ZERO problem being heard with no background noise coming through and every time I ask the person I'm talking to if they can hear other noises around me, they say "nope" and tell me it doesn't sound like I'm using earbuds. I've literally ran a sink and dropped a loud glass (by accident) and the person on the phone didn't hear anything. What?! They definitely live up to the name of Guinness World Record call quality and this is the biggest plus point they have. Other Pros: They do fit comfortably in my ear and come with different size bud ends, which is convenient. They do not fall out of my ear when running or exercising and I can wear them in the shower, but I take them out when I wash my head so they don't get soaked (they are not fully waterproof, but enough for a little splash here and there). I have them in for most of the day and don't even notice them or feel any pain in my ear. The case is sleek and easy to use. The touch screen on the case is cool and lets you choose different things like the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function, sound effects, Dolby Atmos function (super cool) and a couple other features that I haven't messed around with yet like a remote picture button for your phone and a "find device" function. The ANC itself is very good and I would say blocks out a good 60% to 70% of noise around me, which is pretty good. Now for the (unfortunate) cons. The ANC function of the buds I have get a little wonky sometimes. If I open the case or put the other earbud in, or sometimes take a phone call, the ANC will turn on when I don't want it to. The right ear bud also sometimes makes a buzzing or vibration noise, but not all the time. I've had it happen a couple times when I'm mid a phone call, get a notification from another app and then suddenly I can't hear the person I'm talking to, but they can hear me. To fix it I have to unpair the headphones and pair them again, which is a little annoying, but not the end of the world. Now, these problems could just be this pair I have, so I'm returning them for a replacement and will see how the new ones work. I'll update this when I try them. Overall, I highly recommend these buds purely based on their microphone quality, which is amazing and completely worth it for me. I'm hoping the other kinks can be ironed out because they are otherwise the best headphones I've ever used.

These are excellent! I am a headphone fan, not in the typical audiophile sense but I love testing out the newest gadgets and earbuds fit that bill. As such I have a extensive collection of mostly dissapointing sets so when I saw Anker was coming out with this new AI enhanced set I knew I had to try them. I skipped out on the AI note taking capabilities since every app/platform I use these days also has AI built in so it felt redundant but the standar Pro model hit a sweet spot for me. You get the supurb call quality, a screen to easily read battery level (which is great btw) and all the bells and whistles (wireless charging/LDAC) what more could you ask for? Now to the fit, again outstanding! I was coming from a pair of Bose QC Ultra Buds, which I loved the sound of but the bluetooth performance lacked substantially, often leaving me repairing them before zoom calls due to connection instability with windows laptops. Not an issue with these Liberty 5 Pro's ,and having multipoint connection while also being able to utilize LDAC with my Pixel phone is INCREDIBLE. To top it off they're comfortable to wear, I've had no issues wearing these for over an hour during commutes to and from work on a loud train. Noise cancelling is good and transparency mode works well too. Theses are a definite buy, 1000% recomend.

This is an ongoing review that I will update as I get more experience with this product. I was a huge fan of the Liberty Pro 2 earbuds from years ago, and only went looking for a different brand of headphone when they started using a long stem design, which I don't like. I switched to Google Pixel Buds to go along with my Pixel Phones, but was excited to try the Liberty 5 Pro based on the technological advances Anker was advertising. I'm still not sure if the LCD screen and touch controls are anything more than a gimmick, but so far I haven't used them for much of anything because I prefer to use the app. I got the white version, and the front of the earbuds are an even shinier, darker silver than the photos represent. I would have preferred a lighter white-ish silver, but these don't look bad. The case is fairly lightweight, which I appreciate, but the pearlescent white finish may look like garbage within a few months of use. We'll see. Audio quality-wise, these sound pretty good. I'm still using them and breaking them in, but I would put them on par with the audio quality from my Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, which I think is excellent. My main purpose for using them is for connecting to my MacBook Pro and using them as earbuds during meetings. I hope that they will have a strong and stable Bluetooth connection and stop cutting out like my Beats Fit Pros do. I did a test where I called a friend of mine over WhatsApp, and I swapped back and forth between my Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the Anker buds. He’s a professional audio tech, and I trust his ears more than anyone else’s. In his opinion, the Anker Buds had a very non-Bluetooth audio sound, meaning it lacked some of the characteristic hiss and hollowness that comes with using Bluetooth earbuds. He said the Anker’s buds sounded basically as good as if I were holding the phone to my face on a regular call. He mentioned a tiny bit of hiss at the start when I talked, but explained that is probably a noise gate opening once the earbuds detect audio input. I haven't taken these on a plane yet, but I can say that when walking on roads with busy and loud cars, this is by far the best noise cancelling I've ever experienced. I haven't taken a phone call with them yet, and I am very curious to see if the call quality is as good as the reviews have made it out to be. The most jarring thing about using these headphones is how they don't respond to "Hey Google" commands like I've gotten used to with two subsequent generations of Google Pixel Buds. Anker has instead opted to use their own voice assistant where you have to invoke it by saying "Hey Anka". Do we really need a new voice assistant with a new name for us to remember? No, I don't think we do. I'm never going to use this. What I want is hands-free "Hey Google" support right out of the box. You can configure a double tap of the touch-sensitive button to invoke Google's Assistant, but having to do it manually is a pain. Worse, Anker, either by choice or because Google doesn't allow them to (I'm still not sure which), can't pass through media commands properly. So when I ask for it to play music by a certain artist, for example, it responds back saying that it created a playlist for me, but it doesn't actually start playing the music. This is a major letdown, and I'm unclear if it's something Anker can fix with a firmware update or not. This is a huge negative for me and means I can't use these buds as my main set.
